Match of the Day pundit Ian Wright believes Pascal Groß's clinical performance against Leeds United for Brighton was the difference between the two sides this weekend.
Leeds fell 1-0 to Brighton away from home on Saturday afternoon in a game that saw their unbeaten start to the Premier League season ended.
The hosts created plenty of opportunities against Leeds but found themselves often being frustrated by Whites shot stopper Illan Meslier, who produced a handful of strong saves to keep Jesse Marsch and co in the game.

However, Groß managed to pop up midway through the second half, ghosting into space in the box to slot home past Meslier, which was enough to seal all three points for Graham Potter's side.
And speaking on Match of the Day, Wright praised the German midfielder for his inspired performance against Leeds.
"He's been at the heart of everything they're doing," explained Wright.
"He's somebody that's been involved in seven goal involvements in seven games, five goals, two assists. He's quality. His first time passing, he's able to see a pass and I think that the problem he's got is Brighton just don't score enough of the chances he creates. He'd probably have more assists.
"Danny Welbeck does well here [for the goal], links the play here and then you can see him [Groß] just ghosting into the back. Once he comes in [to the box], this is what he's doing. He's getting forward more.
"He's very clinical. He's somebody that's getting further forward as you can see by the stats - more touches in the box, more goals. It's early doors but if he carries on like that they're going to have a good season."
